    Get the NV4500 to LT230 adapter from Nick Markiw in the States. Reliable source and the best of the options.

    This is the way I was going to go when considering an Isuzu, but persisted with the 300Tdi.

    [edit]I know the LT95 should be stronger, 95mm centres vs 77mm, but it should have a taper roller bearing conversion done too, and the last of the R380's is a strong 'box, particularly if the rear housing has the Ashcroft HD support bearing mod done.

    [2nd edit] Oops, missed the posts above.

    the lt95 bell housing can modified too.

    Imho if you have to go to modifying things fairly majorly to fit, then fit a decent gearbox!
